“In this remarkable book, medical anthropologist Albert Villoldo, PhD, takes readers with him as he journeys into the core of shamanic practices to deliver profound change and healing to clients from different walks of life. Time and space lose their conventional dimensions in the shaman's world, and readers will find themselves transported into new dimensions, new realities, and new ways of unleashing potentials they never knew existed.” —Stanley Krippner, PhD, professor of psychology at Saybrook University and co-author of numerous books, including Healing States with Alberto Villoldo, PhD

One of the pioneers in the areas of energy healing and shamanism recounts twelve stories of miraculous healings; twelve stories in which, through the use of shamanic energetic techniques, people experience extraordinary physical and emotional healings.

Meet a dancer who could barely walk until a series of sessions with Villoldo, a business woman who is freed from headaches and discovers the benefits of an integrated interior life, and a young woman who confronts her past and recovers from crippling depression. Each of these stories is rooted in Villoldo’s experience as a healer, a traditional mental health professional, and a devotee of indigenous wisdom and lore from around the world.

Villoldo has devoted 25 years of study to the healing practices of the Amazon and Andean shamans. By learning the ancient Shaman wisdoms from Villoldo, you can heal disease, eliminate emotional suffering, and even grow new bodies that age and heal differently. The stories in this book are amazing and inspiring.
